Review from previous buyers:
From reading other posts I got mine at 3x larger than I normally would have gotten it(( I GOT THE 5XL size) I'm 5'-10'' 250lbs). Fit with a bit of wiggle room once on. Shoulders were kinda tight to get around the zipper but once in I was good with a little room to spare which made moving about real easy. The suit worked well for a rather nasty yellow jacket nest that had take up residence inside the roof. (Note I did the work at night so maybe not an entirely fair test as to the resistance of the suit to stings but I did not get stung).
NOTE: IF I HAD.... gotten this suit at the posted measurement size it would have been to small. I can't stress this enough.
TO BE FAIR: they do have portly versions of this suit, but were out of the ones in my size, so i had to resort purchasing this one. Suit breathed well as it was 90 F
ALSO: Make sure you order larger for sizing when ordering the gloves. XL should have been good for me. I ordered XXL just in case and they were a bit tight in the hands. But will stretch to fit with use. I should have gotten the XXXL though.
Other than that it seems well enough constructed It should last me a while as it will be occasional use. Only giving 4 stars because of the confusion for me in ordering the correct size having to guess at it.
ONE THING MORE.... MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET THE FRONT ZIPPER ALL THE UP WHEN ZIPPING THE SUIT CLOSED, ONCE YOU DO THAT THE SUIT WILL SEAL UP NICELY.
